Patent Law- Peer- Review Journals

 A patent may be a sort of property that provides its owner the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention for a limited period of years in exchange for publishing an enabling public disclosure of the invention. In most countries, patent rights fall into private law and therefore the patent holder must sue someone infringing the patent so as to enforce his or her rights. In some industries patents are an important sort of competitive advantage; in others they're irrelevant. The procedure for granting patents, requirements placed on the patentee, and therefore the extent of the exclusive rights vary widely between countries consistent with national laws and international agreements. Typically, however, a application must include one or more claims that outline the invention. A patent may include many claims, each of which defines a selected ownership . These claims must meet relevant patentability requirements, like novelty, usefulness, and non-obviousness. Under the planet Trade Organization's TRIPS Agreement, patents should be available in WTO member states for any invention, altogether fields of technology, provided they're new, involve an ingenious step, and are capable of commercial application. Nevertheless, there are variations on what's patentable material from country to country, also among WTO member states. The term of protection TRIPS also provides available should be a minimum of twenty years.
